Chapter 11: The Aftermath of Wealth
To run Chang'an is to run the military's nest.
Don't look at these old guys, this duke, that Hou, one by one, they either have thousands of households or hundreds of households, but they only have the power to collect taxes, not the power to actually manage.
Even the power to collect taxes is not in their hands, but the local officials receive the money and then give it to them.
The most unreliable thing in the world is that money passes through the hands of others, just like Yunchu's Yongye Field, Koufen Field, and Guantian, all in his mother's Taibai Mountain, how much can be received in a year, it all depends on whether the local officials want to eat meat or drink soup.
When you want to eat meat, Yunchu's Yongye, the mouth is divided, and the official field will be harvested, and sometimes it will have to be paid.
When he wanted to drink soup, Yun Chu could get some grain and linen, as well as some local products, such as last year, when the world was ripe, Yun Chu got three loads of shriveled wheat, and six horses of linen that were not good rags, and of course, two air-dried rabbits and three pheasants.
When he got these things, Yun Chu almost cried, this is how he took advantage of Datang.
The situation in the fiefdom of the nobles will not be better than that of Yun Chu, and it is forbidden for the nobles to exploit the people, this is what Emperor Taizong said in advance before rewarding the people of the fields to the heroes.
Unless he can be powerful, like the eldest grandson Wuji, he not only has the title of Duke of Zhao, but also has a part-time job as the assassin of Zhaozhou, only in this way can he distribute the output of his fiefdom to himself, and he will become very rich.
In addition to him, even if it is a prince, after the fief becomes a vassal, he must accept the clamping of the prime minister, Changshi and others appointed to him by the imperial court, not to mention those local officials, who will guard him like a thief.
Not to mention the rest of the nobles, the fief suffered a disaster, and they had the obligation to rescue the people of the fiefdom, as for the rest, they can really be ignored.
The fields near Chang'an are different, they are all the fields obtained by following Gaozu and Emperor Taizong in the early years to fight the world, because of the merits of war or other merits of sucking carbuncles and licking hemorrhoids.
These fields are basically managed by their wives themselves, and the harvest goes to them except for the payment of taxes. So, what's here is the real thing.
In Datang, the field is the source of wealth, no matter how expensive the land is, as long as you can buy a good field, you are a woman who can live. Yun Chu thought that this view was wrong, and as a result, when he said it, he was refuted by Yu Xiurong and Cui's family, who stubbornly believed that the field was the most important, and if the family's property had an order that needed to be stripped, the hundreds of acres of land in Qujiang would be the last property to be stripped. Eight Chinese Net
As for the Jinchangfang food that is making money every day
Tang belongs to the wealth that should be exchanged or given up before the family is broken.
And the production of alcohol, quilts, and down jackets are planned as inseparable wealth by these two women, and if the Yun family is unlucky, they will have to rely on these hundreds of acres of land to make a comeback with these two secret recipes.
Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, this is what is said in the art of war book, but in the eyes of Yu Xiurong and Cui's family, the field is eternal. This is not only the opinion of Cui and Yu Xiurong, but also the opinion of the whole Chang'an people.
Yun Chu didn't understand this very much, the output of one mu of land in Datang Guanzhong now, the good year is less than two hundred catties, just this, it is still the output of paddy fields, even if one mu of land produces three hundred catties, according to the grain price of Chang'an at this time, eight cents a bucket, three hundred catties is counted as thirty buckets, and a year down is only two hundred and forty wen, and then counting the income of planting a crop of millet or buckwheat after the wheat harvest, not counting labor, one mu of land can earn up to 400 yuan a year.
What's even worse is that the price of paddy fields near Chang'an is ten dollars per mu, one thousand dollars. It takes nearly 30 years of not eating or drinking to get back the money for buying land, which is basically the life course of most of the Tang people. If you don't eat or drink all your life, just to get an acre of land?
"That's not how the accounts are calculated!" After getting the dowry of the Yun family, Yu Xiurong, who had not shied away from Yun Chu, had already put herself in the position of the Yun family's housewife, and took it for granted.
Yun Chu wanted to raise his hand and slap Yu Xiurong, who was desperate, but found that this little woman had a firm face, even if she was beaten, she insisted that the Yun family should take the route of annexing land.
Just when he was at a stalemate, Yun Chu suddenly remembered the house he bought a long, long time ago...... After taking out a loan for 20 years, he has to repay about 4,000 a month, and his monthly salary is only 7,800······ How similar to the situation of the Tang people buying land.
That's it, a group of wise men in the government also said that if he bought well, he would definitely make money.
It's strange that the land near Chang'an, like the school district house he bought before, can be sold when it is listed. If Yunchu is now, he wants to put his land in Qujiang for sale, and he will pay ten dollars per mu of land, and within a day, there will be luxury buyers who will come to the door and give cash!
And when he gets the cash, he will definitely be ridiculed by the entire Chang'an people as a loser, a scum who corrupts the family business.
Since I used to be in a world of advanced technology and transparent information, I can do such an irrational thing. It is very wrong to expect Yu Xiurong and Cui, these two natives of the Tang Dynasty, to transcend the times.
The house and the land are actually the same, and the Chinese love these two things to death, and have loved them for thousands of years. It's hard to buy a good heart if you have money, so Yun Chu accepted his fate.
There is so much money in the family that the soup kitchen of the Great Ci'en Temple is unwilling to accept it.
If part of the Yun family's money is taken out to buy land and push up the price of land near Chang'an, it can be regarded as a good way. At the very least, not so many people are willing to sell their land.
After all, in a world where there are not many investment channels, the higher the price of the land, the fewer people will sell the land in their hands.
It's a good thing to put all the money on the land.
"Did you want to smoke me just now" Yu Xiurong stared at a pair of big shining eyes, looking at Yun Chu, and it could be seen that her anger was still unresolved. "Nonsense, since the ancestors of the Yun family were eight generations, they didn't have the habit of beating their wives." "Yes, then beat my sister to death?" Naha interjected as she peeled the roasted chestnuts. "If you dare to run to Pingkangfang again, next time you won't use bamboo sticks to whip your legs, but use sticks to beat your legs."
"I'm going to see the dancing girls that Sister Gongsun bought, to see if their legs are longer than mine, why are you beating me?"
Yu Xiurong saw that Naha was really angry, so he hurriedly hugged Naha and comforted: "Pingkangfang is indeed not a good place, if you want to see Sister Gongsun in the future, I will invite her to come to the house, let's just watch the dancing girl she bought at home, but I don't dare to go to Pingkangfang again." ’
"Why can't you go there?
"Uh-" Yun Chu roared under his breath and walked out of the room with his fists clenched, Naha was already too old to really hit her anymore.
At this time, it is time for Yu Xiurong to show her eldest sister-in-law as a mother, in the process of growing up as a girl, there is no way to say a lot of things about Yun Chu, who is an elder brother.
Cui Shi hurriedly followed out and said to Yun Chu: "Naha's little lady is very smart, Lang Jun doesn't need to be so angry, when she is a little older, she will understand." Yun Chu looked at Cui Shi angrily and said, "You said that three years ago, and you still say this, when will she grow up?" Cui Shi covered his mouth and smiled: "If the little lady Naha really grows up, Lang Jun may be even more reluctant. ”
When it comes to Naha's marriage, Yunchu is very uncomfortable in his heart, this sister must choose well, she must choose well, she must have money in the family, have status, and show talent, with a docile temperament, after being beaten by Naha, she still likes Naha's talent!
Otherwise, it is easy to be early in the life of a brother-in-law who is not like this.
Seeing a team of round women wearing green and white spots and corset skirts, rolling past his eyes, he said to Cui's family: "I said two years ago that as long as they find the person they like, they can leave home to live, why, no one has left in the past two years?"
It's been two years, and they should have saved a lot of money, right?' Cui Shi pinched his double chin and said, "Fools only go out." ”
As he spoke, he threw Yun Chu an old wink and said, "The Lang Jun there is not as reliable as our Lang Jun, why do you want to go out?" Yun Chu shuddered and said, "You have become immodest now, you want to harm people and find others, don't come to disgust me."
Cui Shi said with a smile: "In the past three years, the concubine body feels that she is really alive, even if she suffered those sins before, she now feels that she deserves to be free from those sins, where is my turn to live a good life of freedom now."
Yun Chu sighed, and asked Fei Jiu to bring the jujube red horse, ready to go to Guangfufang to exchange copper cakes for two meat buns to eat, and today he was very angry by Naha and Yu Xiurong, and Cui's family.
Fei Jiu's pockmarked face, which originally looked like some lines, has now turned into a spread cake sprinkled with sesame seeds. "You don't plan to get married," Fei Jiu shook his head resolutely and said, "I don't want to" "You don't plan to have a son and a half daughter, and pass on the ancestry?"
Fei Jiu continued to shake his head resolutely and said, "I have had children before, and I am worthy of my ancestors, but I will not give birth now. Besides, the fat lady in our yard, which one do you think can give birth to a son?" "I think they are much younger than those thirty-year-old women outside, so it's not a problem to have a baby, right?"
"That's our family's delicious food and drink, hard raised, if not at home, God knows how old they have become, all of them are the age of grandmothers, Lang Jun don't harm me, if you really want to be a woman, when you are young, you will go to Pingkangfang to solve any difficulties, people are not only young and good-looking, but also
I hate the hemp in my face.
Yun Chu sighed and said, "This is all my sin, and the money I sent to you is too much." "Even if you don't send it, you get a little reward from the little lady Naha from time to time, and you have all the money."
Yun Chu was laughed at angrily, but this way of communication is not bad, at least it can reduce the guilt he felt when he was a big landlord and a big bully oppressed the people.
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
